(and hopefully an iPad Pro at some point in the future)
Iām using the exact same stuff as you areā¦except my iPhone is a 6plus. Just wanted to say hello and welcome to the forum, and to tell you that I just bought the iPad pro about a month ago (I had an original iPad which was still working fine, but could no longer do some things that I wanted) and also bought the Apple pencil. Amazing! The pencil is incredible and Iām having such fun using it to draw with in Paper 53. I hope you can get one soonā¦you will love it. 
I will be using a 27" 5k Retina iMac I-7, 32 gigs ram, iPad Air2 and an iPhone 6+
Software will be Inkscape, Gimp, TurboCad, Fusion 360, Sketchup, Vetric Aspire, and at work AutoCad, and to accompany all that, Uliās Moose. I have Illustrator CC, just learning it.
For hardware, our studio has a mix of Mac gearā¦

hi @Xabbess Iāve got a question: does the apple pencil really only work on the iPad pro? I hope to get one next year for my lab/ workshop at the university I work for, so Iāll try to keep my buying urge in check 
but the pencil is really hard to resist, so please say yes to not working on any other iPad ā¦ I think 
The Apple Pencil does only work with the iPad Pro. It relies on sensors that arenāt present in older iPads.
There are rumors that Apple is going to be releasing a new iPad later this month that will support the Pencil. Some people say it will be called the iPad Air 3, others say it will share the iPad Pro name with its bigger brother. But of course the rumors could be completely wrong.

I believe tim1724 is correct, though I have no certain way of knowing since I only own the pro. It makes sense though, that the pencil would only work with the iPad pro. At least for now.
Itās worth noting that the same pencil works with both last fallās 12.9 inch iPad Pro and the recently launched 9.7 inch iPad Pro. Iāve got the larger, and my girlfriend has the new smaller form factor, weāre both very big fans.
now that you have both do you prefer one over the other? Im curious about the larger ipad especiallyā¦

Ooh, this is probably stupid, but I wonder if thereās a way to set up something like Octoprint (3d printing server)? Say if youāre doing a workshop of some kind and you just want to queue things up over the local network. Youād need the queue machine to have some big, clear set of buttons to make sure the previous job was out and the material for the new job was in, but it might be easier than everybody connecting to manage their own job. (Or it might not, Idunno)

Really hoping to write my own software for it as well - either as a utility to manipulate some future open GF file format (perhaps an extension to SVG) or via some GF-provided REST API.
